Description

Panzeria sp. nr. japonica Shima, 2020

Remarks. This species is apparently similar to the recently described Panzeria japonica Shima, 2020. The single specimen is, however, badly covered in mold and cannot be determined. Panzeria Robineau-Desvoidy species have planidial larvae and the females deposit fully developed first instars on the ground or on tree trunks or twigs in the vicinity of the host. Known hosts of Panzeria species are mainly larvae of large lepidopterans, including Geometridae, Lasiocampidae, Lymantriidae, Noctuidae and Notodontidae (Tschorsnig 2017, some as Eurithia Robineau- Desvoidy and Fausta Robineau-Desvoidy). Within Geometridae, the host Abraxas pantaria (Linnaeus) is known only for one European species, P. argentifera (Meigen, 1824).

Specimen examined *. 1 female (covered in mold), Japan, Hokkaido, Tomakomai Experimental Forest, Tomakomai, 30.v.2014 (emerged), ex Erannis golda, M. Libra & T. Abe (TOC 02699) (HUM).

Host. Lepidoptera, Geometridae: Erannis golda Djakonov.
